AT LAST At last, my love has come along My lonely days over and life is like a song At last, the skies above are blue Well, my heart was wrapped up in clover the night I looked at you BRIDGE: I found a dream that I could speak to A dream that I could call my own I found a thrill to press my cheek to A thrill that I have never known Well, you smile, you smile, oh, and then the spell was cast And here we are in heaven for you are mine at last BRIDGE Well, you smile, you smile, oh, and then the spell was cast And here we are in heaven for you are mine at last

WHEN THE COLD WINDS BLOW When the cold winds blow in Minnesota and the snow's fallin' heavy on the pine Oh, I wonder if you ever think about me in the sunny hills way down in Caroline Is the old home place the way I left it Has the floor on the front porch been repaired Nights I wonder if you're dreamin' of me only and I'm hopin' that you still love me, dear CHORUS: Yes, I wonder if you ever think about me Please say I'm your only love and care When the cold winds blow in Minnesota are you still thinkin' only of me, dear Now I know, sweetheart, how much it hurt you when I told you that I had to go away 'Fore you turned aside I made to you this promise that I'd be comin' home to you one day Now, before the robins have returned, dear Before the snow has melted off the pine I'll be back in your arms , my little darlin' in the sunny hills way down in Caroline CHORUS CHORUS Plus Last Two Lines

THE CALL AND THE ANSWER You called and I ran wild as the wind which rolls across the moor All we needed is each other with the eagles we will soar CHORUS: You are the call I am the answer You are the wish and I am the way You the music, I the dancer You are the night and I am the day You are the night and I am the day You and I we're like two rivers Run and fall down to the sea When we meet we're lost forever Lost forever you and me CHORUS Lay your head upon my shoulder Let your heart beat close to mine There's no past and no tomorrow Two hearts lost in space and time CHORUS

MY GIRL I've got sunshine on a cloudy day When it's cold outside I've got the month of May I guess you'd say, What can make me feel this way My girl (my girl, my girl) Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl) I've got so much honey the bees envy me I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees I guess you'd say, What can make me feel this way My girl (my girl, my girl) Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl) Hey hey hey Hey hey hey Ooooh I don't need no money, fortune, or fame I've got all the riches, baby, one man can claim I guess you'd say, What can make me feel this way My girl (my girl, my girl) Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl) I've got sunshine on a cloudy day with my girl I've even got the month of May with my girl

MY LITTLE GEORGIA ROSE Come and listen to my story a story that I know is true A little rose bloomed in Georgia with hair of gold and a heart that's true CHORUS: Way down in the Blue Ridge Mountains way down where the tall pines grow lives my sweetheart of the mountains She's my little Georgia Rose Her mother left her with another A carefree life that she did plan Now the baby is a lady The one her mother couldn't stand CHORUS We used to sing old songs together I watched her do her little part She smiled at me when I would tell her that she was my sweetheart

ROSE OF MY HEART We’re the best partners the world’s ever seen Together, as close as can be But sometimes it’s hard to find time in between to tell you what you are to me CHORUS: You are the rose of my heart You are the love of my life A flower not fading nor falling apart If you’re tired, rest your head on my arm Rose of my heart When sorrow holds you in her arms of clay it’s raindrops that fall from your eyes Your smile’s like the sun come to earth for a day You brighten my darkest of skies CHORUS (4th line: if you’re cold, let my love make you warm) So hard times or easy times, what do I care There’s nothing I’d change if I could The tears and the laughter are things that we share Your hand in mine makes all times good CHORUS *(4th line: you’re my harbor in life’s restless storm) plus last line

OH LONESOME ME Everybody’s going out and having fun I’m a fool for staying home and having none I can’t get over how she set me free Oh, lonesome me It’s a bad mistake I’m makin by just hangin ‘round I know that I should go on out and paint the town A lovesick fool is blind, just can’t see Oh, lonesome me I’ll bet she’s not like me, she’s out and fancy free flirting with the boys with all her charms But I still love her so, and brother don’t you know I’d welcome her right back here in my arms There must be some way that I can lose these lonesome blues Forget about my past and find someone new I’ve thought of everything from A to Z Oh, lonesome me.

ELECTRIC BLANKET The Cumberland River down in Tennessee Let the water wash over me I've got myself a mobile home Set the sail, we're bound to roam The river rolls on to the sea Let the cold wind blow, honey, I'm sure You don't need no electric blanket tonight Let the cold wind blow, honey, I'm sure You don't need no electric blanket tonight I love a girl with auburn hair close my eyes I’m almost there I’ll be cross that river soon then we’ll fly, just me an’ you Oh, the river rolls on to the sea Let the cold wind blow, honey, I'm sure I'll be your electric blanket tonight Let the cold wind blow, honey, I'm sure I'll be your electric blanket tonight

SONNY’S DREAM Sonny lives on a farm, in a wide open space Take off your shoes, stay out of the race Lay down your head, on a soft river bed Sonny always remembers the words Mamma says CHORUS: Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone Your Daddy's a sailor, never comes home Nights are so long, silence goes on I'm feeling so tired and not all that strong Sonny works on the land, though he's barely a man There's not much to do but he does what he can Sits by his window in his room by the stairs Watching the waves drifting soft on the pier Many years have rolled on, Sonny's old and alone His Daddy the sailor, never came home Sometimes he wonders what his life might have been But from the grave Mamma still haunts his dreams CHORUS

ROCKY ROAD BLUES CHORUS: Now the road is rocky, but it won't be rocky long Now the road is rocky, but it won't be rocky long Another man has got my woman and gone I've got those blues from wearing out the soles of my shoes I've got those blues from wearing out the soles of my shoes My gal went away and left me, she left me with the dog gone blues CHORUS You'll never miss your water til the well runs dry You'll never miss your water til the well runs dry You'll never miss your woman until she says goodbye CHORUS I wish to the Lord you'd bring my woman back home I wish to the Lord you'd bring my woman back home I'm not so lonesome, just don't want to be alone CHORUS

JUST WONDERING WHY Tonight I’m alone, I’m thinking of you, dear for yesterday you told me goodbye Oh, why did your leave and where are you going I’m here all alone just wondering why CHORUS: I can’t understand, sweetheart, why you left me You told me you love would never die When you went away and left me so lonely I’m here all alone just wondering why Wherever you go in this world, my darling I’ll never think of no one but you When you went away you left me so lonely and that’s why today I’m feeling so blue CHORUS

SOMEBODY LIKE YOU From the day I first met you I knew right then you were the kind that could always keep me happy all my days and my lonely nights Hope to find a way to tell you Hope that I can come to be the one who cares for you and I hope that you can take these lonesome blues away from me CHORUS: Tired of bein' so lonely Tired of bein' so blue Been so all alone, no one to call my own Need to find somebody like you Said I'd like to know you better Said I'd like to know your mind But you said, Sweetheart, be careful You might not like what you find The life you led, it just don't matter Your heart is true, it's plain to see We'll have a happy home, honey, no more I'll roam when you take these lonesome blues away from me
